i run fedora 17 x86_64 and find it excellent. The new grub2 configuration, for any distro can be found here; Useful Grub2 config editor : http://ksmanis.wordpress.com/projects/grub2-editor/#comment-348 <http://ksmanis.wordpress.com/projects/grub2-editor/#comment-348> I find it a handy addition (fc17x86_64) in ´system settings > startup & shutdown´ when installed.It does not install as a package menu item , but part of system settings etc. PackagesPackages are the most straightforward way to install GRUB2 Editor. Simply select your distribution and architecture below: http://ksmanis.wordpress.com/downloads/ <http://ksmanis.wordpress.com/downloads/> RepositoriesOn the other hand, you may subscribe to a repository in order to automatically get new updates: For Fedora 17 run the following as root: cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:ksmanis/Fedora_17/home:ks\ manis.repo yum install kcm-grub2 NB: Installs in System settings > startup & shutdown > Grub2 BootloaderIt is not a menu package.
